Unfordunately, repeaters have their own problems, including latency.
Possibly a better solution would be to take a look at the Ubiquiti
Unifi line of WAPs. There is a native Linux controller app, thery're
reasonably priced, and they have the nice feature that if there is
more than one WAP with the same SSID, they'll cooperatively handoff.
Note these _are_ just WAPs--you'd need a wired router--but they
nicely handle WiFi issues.
Thanks for that information. There is a unifi ac-ap lr with exceptional
long range. I don't have much knowledge about WAPs but my router has
one free cable port so I assume I could connect the WAP to that port
and disable all wireless ports on the router and let the WAP handle
the wireless devices. Does that sound doable?
